patch 'net/qede: remove unused variable' has been queued to stable release 24.11.9

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 10/29/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/f76ec6c9cc3d241d74b6154ec6eb2c03ce5e01dd

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/qede: remove unused variable

[ upstream commit d497820350b9dda74ed622440efe704fc7f22a48 ]

qed_dbg_set_app_ver() validates the caller's version and stores it.
clang 23 reports:

  qede_debug.c:820:12: warning: variable 's_app_ver' set but not used
        [-Wunused-but-set-global]

Since the whole qed_dbg_set_app_ver() function is doing nothing
remove it.

Fixes: ec55c118792b ("net/qede: add infrastructure for debug data collection")
